E3 2017: Xbox Exec Wants Cross-Play With PS4

McCarthy said he’s hopeful that Sony will respond to Microsoft’s invitation to connect PSN to Xbox Live. At Microsoft’s E3 briefing this week, Microsoft announced that Minecraft would support cross-play between Xbox One and Nintendo Switch, but PS4 was nowhere to be seen. McCarthy said conversations are ongoing with Sony, but nothing has come of them so far.

“Nintendo’s been a great partner; we respect them on a lot of levels, and it’s great to support the Switch early on,” McCarthy said. “Quite frankly, we’d love to have Sony there. We discussed it. They’re not quite there yet [laughs] on support for that. But my hope is that they join the party as well because I think it’s an awesome thing to do for gamers.”

Asked for further details on why discussions with Sony have not amounted to anything, McCarthy said that question is better directed at Sony. We’ll try to chase this down with Sony this week at E3.

Hey everyone, I'm Jonathan but people will know me as Jon... I enjoy hiking and exploring the outside world as well as getting to see fantastic views. It can bring you to the most beautiful places on earth and into contact with amazing plants and wildlife and can be done all year round which is why I enjoy it so much despite it being challenging sometimes due to the weather - it has allowed me to meet a lot of new people and experience things I wouldn't have before. I also find it relaxing and interesting.
I also really enjoy blogging and sharing my experiences with similar people. Hopefully you will read mine.
My company Adventures Gate displays my other hobby - gaming! I love collecting items to do with gaming and playing in general. I guess I am a bit of a geek when it comes to this. Adventures Gate now offer free postage options when you spend more than £20 (there may be a small additional charge for larger items). That`s free 1st class post in the UK and free airmail to Europe.
